Default ISP information

I have brought a new wireless router - Linksys by Cisco WAG160N and my good friend is going to help me set it up. He has the very same wireless router. To set it up I need certain information (See below) which I presume I need to phone BT, but is there a easier way, like a web site I can find this info?

-Primary DNS
-Secondary DNS
-VCI number/multiplexing method
-Modulation type

Many thanks

You should be able to pull most of that from your old router before you configure the new one.

I tried going to the bt hub's home page and I could not see the information. Might I need to connect my mac directly to the router with a cat 5?

Wireless or Wired shouldnt matter.

DNS is normally provided dynamically from the ISP as well
